See the boys out walking
The boys, they look so fine
Dressed up in green velvet
Their silver buckles shine

Soon theyll be bleary eyed
Under a keg of wine
Down where the [bad word] roll
Down where the [bad word] roll

See that lover standing
Staring at the ground
Hes looking for the real thing
Lies were all he found

You can get the real thing
It will only cost a pound
Down where the [bad word] roll
Down where the [bad word] roll

There goes a troubled woman
She dreams a troubled dream
She lives out on the highway
She keeps her money clean

Soon shell be returning
To the place where shes the queen
Down where the [bad word] roll
Down where the [bad word] roll

You can be a gambler
Who never drew a hand
You can be a sailor
Who never left dry land

You can be Lord Jesus
All the world will understand
Down where the [bad word] roll
Down where the [bad word] roll.
